Video of Connecticut State Trooper Gets Viral Instagram Makeover
If I had a time machine and I could go back in time to warn America of what we would become, I'd want to bring this video with me.
I'd say I am from the future and if we don't change our ways, you'll end up liking and caring about videos like this one. You will one day place a value on things like this and award them digital likes that will activate the pleasure center of the user who posted it.
I am going to explain Instagram now and if you already know how this works, skip ahead a few paragraphs. On Instagram you can extract audio from someone else's video and then attach that sound to a video of your own. This can be music or a person speaking and the dumber it is, the better.
When one of these audio tracks become popular, Instagram users will try to create a video their own that somehow fits the piece of sound. That is what we have here below. Someone took a viral piece of sound (a man with an accent complaining) and attached it to a short video of a CT State Trooper.
Don't you feel dumber? Me too. I'm not judging because I'm part of the problem. There are literally hundreds of videos of me on social media doing things that are out of character just to get attention to my radio show.
Other than my family, my only care in the world is the Ethan & Lou Show. I decided a long time ago that the show is important enough to me that I'm willing to sacrifice my dignity now and again. We all have our decisions to make.
